Description

Capture2Text enables users to quickly OCR a small portion of the screen and, by default, save the result to the clipboard. Supports 50+ languages including Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. Portable and does not require installation. See http://capture2text.sourceforge.net for details.

My first experience of a screen-grab OCR. I like its inclusion of Japanese and Chinese. I would also have loved the use of Translation service. Like OCR Japanese and Translate to English.

Pretty good accuracy.... I use it for English and Traditional Chinese. English accuracy > 95%, Chinese accuracy >80 %.
This accuracy is good, even a lot of paid programs can't beat this, although this is not the best I've used. Unfortunately, that OCR is no longer support for my Win7.....

I've been using 2.4 for a long time. It stopped working, so I tried 3.0. The OCR on 3.0 is MISERABLE. I downgraded to 2.5. That works, but the blue highlight when you are selecting runs out ahead of the mouse pointer without actually selecting anything, so has to be ignored.
